Unaccounted heat in rat muscle tetanus cautions against assuming full chemical accounting; leaves open unidentified energetics processes for further study.
The study demonstrates an unexplained discrepancy between heat production and measured chemical reactions during isometric tetanus in mammalian skeletal muscle.
K. M. Kretzschmar (1975) studied Muscular contraction. Isometric tetanus was evaluated on Heat production and energy balance. During an isometric tetanus in the rat soleus muscle, more heat is evolved than can be accounted for by measured chemical reactions.
